The
Drunkard's Path pattern is a mainstay of historical quilt collections.
The pattern traditionally involves only two colors and two "simple" blocks
... simple except for the fact that they involve curves! The technique
shown below makes these blocks a snap through our pieced-by-appliqué

infinite number of layouts. In Mary Henderson's book, a streamlined
assembly process is presented for six of the most popular layouts.
